Mostly a blog with photo's I've taken that I think turned out really well. I might also share some of my photo/photo editing tips I've learned over the years. I'm not a professional by ANY means, but I hope I am getting better and taking better photos. :)

Hanging Squirrel

We go to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens not just to look at the plants (though they are pretty), but to feed the ducks, geese, other birds, and squirrels. Most of the squirrels come up to you and take the peanuts out of your hand. This one wouldn't so we tossed him a nut. A little later I noticed him coming down the tree with a nut in his mouth. Then he grabbed hold with his hind feet, hung there to the side of the tree and began eating the peanut! I have never seen a squirrel eat that way, it was funny and cool. After he was done I reached out to the tree and gave him another.

About Me

I'm a computer geek (been working with Progress for 20+ yrs) who loves playing my trumpet (have since 4th grade and was in a cool band for 10 years) and good microbrewed beer, not that fizzy yellow stuff Bud calls beer. While also enjoy hiking, playing video/computer games, working in the yard, driving, and many other things, what gives me the most pleasure is my wonderful wife, son and daughter. I'm always amazed I actually got married and I have kids! haha Oh, and if there's any chocolate chip cookies around, you'd better hide them!
